Egypt will disconnect two power transmission lines that provide electricity to the southern Gaza Strip on Friday morning, Public Relations Director of Gaza’s electricity company Mohammed Thabet has said.
In a telephone interview with Sawa news site on Thursday evening, Thabet said the Egyptian authorities had informed the company that they plan to disconnect the two power transmission lines that supply Rafah with electricity at 7:00 am until further notice due to maintenance.

Thabet warned that this will lead to a large deficit in the power supply, especially since the power supply line coming from Israel has not been working for the past seven days.
